Western Atlantic: Canada to straits of Florida, found in the outer continental shelves and slopes, but not abundant to south of Cape Hatteras.
Epibenthic (Ref. 58426). Minimum depth at 90 m (Ref. 1371). Most abundant between 360 and 800 m. Feeds mostly on crustaceans (especially euphusiids, shrimps and amphipods (Ref. 5951)) but also on mollusks and fishes (Ref. 1371).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.6255 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00340 (-0.19852 - 0.20531), b=3.13 (3.02 - 3.24), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; Based on diet studies.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High to very high vulnerability (67 of 100) .
